The Perfect Engine for the Spitfire | Inside The Spitfire Factory | Machina

There’s something missing on the Spitfire Factory’s main restoration project: the engine! Peter Monk sets off to Gloucestershire, where the newly restored Merlin is about to be put through its paces…but will it be up to Peter’s perfectionist standards? Pilot Jez explores the little known history of the Spitfire as a reconnaissance aircraft, playing a vital role in D-Day and the attacks on Germany’s biggest battleship. And ground crew chief Ray meets a Fleet Air Arm Veteran who flew the naval version of the Spitfire, known as the Seafire, and survived two kamikaze attacks in the final weeks of the war.
